Eighth Jiggy | [Voice/Action] | Happy birthday...?

[talontrot]

[Voice]

[This particular announcement begins with a close-up on one slightly-irritated looking breegull's face. The journal has gotten easier to open without hands, but it's still not always a cakewalk.

After a moment, though, her beak shifts into something resembling a smile - a little mocking, perhaps, but a smile nonetheless.]

So. Some heck of a birthday I have, right? Village looks like a pile of junk, Malnosso-guys going nuts, some dumb draft thing they didn't send me on, all this crud. And on top of all that, I still got my "present" from the Malnosso-guys to worry about. [She looks down at her wings pointedly to emphasize this.] So. Gotta cheer this place up a little, I think!

First 'n' foremost. It's my birthday today - s'when my first game came out, Banjo-Kazooie - so none of you had better forget! And I'm gonna need something really awesome. Maybe something even cooler than my hero party! As well as tons of presents, because a party's not a party without some presents -

[... but there is another problem, too.]

- whenever all this junk gets cleaned up, anyway. Is that even ever gonna happen? The fat ol' hag's cruddy amusement park looked better kept-up than this place and I was clearing out like half of the stupid stuff on the ground!

Anyway. [Almost idly, but:] How many of you other guys've had birthdays here? And what's it like for you weird non-cartoony-types, what with that getting-older thing and all?

[And because she can't filter:] Oh, hey, anybody know how to make some... I dunno, fake robot-y wings or something? [Eggman would be proud.] Marco said somethin' about "blacksmiths", whatever the heck that means.


[Action]

[Okay, so having a party now isn't really feasible. Some of the Pony House is missing, the whole village is still messy and broken (though it starts repairing later today!) and in general everything is a shambles. But this doesn't stop Kazooie from poking through the Item Shop and Weapons Shop for her Eggs and some decent snack food for her birthday.

People might catch her trying to awkwardly scoop chips - or crisps, as she'd call them; seed and nut mixes, candy and other assorted foods - perhaps even a whole cake - into a bag with the blunt hind-wings, or otherwise struggling with her items (but totally not asking for help or anything because that's lame) while she tries to navigate the shops. But eventually she'll get them outside! And maybe make a spectacle of herself eating them near or around the Fountain because she loves being the centre of attention. Come up and talk to her! She'll regale you with tales of her epic video game series.]

It was really cool! You're a pretty powerful hero. What else should I play?

[game recs from a game character AWWW YEAAAH]

[This totally won't go horribly or anything.]

Well, if you can't find the rest of my games - the Malnosso-guys really need to get 'em in - you can try games by that Mario guy! I think those are pretty good too, but I don't know that much about 'em.

No matter what newfangled stuff comes out, the classics will always be the best! [Seriously. Being from Nuts and Bolts was an unpleasant experience.]

[dogboy]

[Mah-ri-oh. M-a-r-e-o? Maybe. Something like that. He's been learning to read okay! He'll have to be on the lookout for those and stuff.]

Got it. Uh... How've you been?

[seems only fair to ask really they haven't talked in so long and he remembers something about clipped wings sometime and metal wings reminds him of Skarmy.]

[voice]

[talontrot]

[Kazooie's response is, as usually, tinged with sarcasm - though it's nowhere near as bitter as before.]

Just peachy, between all this crud going on and still havin' to push stuff open with my face most of the time. But it's getting easier. [Having to improvise has made things... interesting at least.]

Still, it'll be way better when I can finally get my wings back to how they were.

If you ever need metal or anything like that, you should look for Shiemi. She has a bird whose wings are made of it, and when their feathers drop off they're still really useful.
